Reputation

What kind of reputation does DU have? I am from Connecticut so it is not very known where I am but I’m really interested in going! I was just wondering if it is a good school and will help to get jobs and all that after college. Also, any input on the school is helpful like why you want to go or why you liked it there or not!

As far as reputation of school when you are out job hunting, that I dont know. I do know its a very respected school, and most employers would know that if they did any kind of homework on your College Credentials. Denver as a City, has lots of internships with a strong economy, so wether you are staying in Denver to get a job afterwards, or getting experience, U of Denver should do a good job in that respect. We are from Michigan, and although not a lot of people in this area know of U of Denver as far as reputation, we are very happy our d chose to go there. We love the school, and when we first set foot on the campus, D knew this was the school for her. It came down to Elon and DU. DU stepped up to the plate with a nice financial package to make going here much easier.
I am going to guess coming from a Hockey region as New England is, most are familiar with U of Denver Hockey program. And if you really want to impress them, point out their Number 1 ranking in Lacrosse, Skiing, and their sports in general. They were the number 1 school in the nation last yr fcounting all sports and their standings without a Football team.
U of Denver is also number one in respect to their study abroad program. See if you can plan a visit out here, and you will also enjoy it. Wether you fall in love with it, well each individual is different. Lots of schools to chose from in your Region, but to my d and my wife and I, we just love U of Denver.

@aggriffin3 Thank you! Definitely insightful and I can’t wait to visit soon.

My dad works for the seventh largest investment firm in the country. He was talking to one of his partners who lives in Denver, and according to his partner, throughout the country, DU is considered as good as any of the ivies. The school turns out great grads.

Depends on the program. The school for foreign policy is one of the best out there.
